AI infrastructure benefits from price war/adoption.
The next leg of the AI rally can come from a price war in large language models and even faster adoption; that supports infrastructure plays including chips, GPU rental rates, data centers and cloud servers because volumes move higher, though investors need to be selective because not everyone wins.

European banks cheap with improving earnings.
Europe's earnings story is not as dependent on AI capex as the US, and European banks are a key part of that earnings strength. Europe offers interesting regional diversification and active opportunities with less AI correlation than other regions.

Overweight Europe, underweight US equities.
European quarterly earnings impressed and broadened beyond energy into financials and banks. Europe is building on strength with successive quarter-on-quarter earnings growth, a rare trait, and on a relative basis Invesco is underweight US equities and overweight Europe on the valuation and broadening recovery story, while US capex and stretched expectations are concerns.

Buy beaten-up European manufacturing stocks.
The Iran deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz will lower energy costs. The European manufacturing economies that were most beaten up by high energy prices should capture more attention and outperform in the coming weeks.

UK valuations are discounted relative to global peers. The BoE is pivoting to cuts. Lower rates usually support equity valuations. The UK offers "life-like" businesses (Energy, Mining, Tobacco) at a discount, providing a hedge against the high-valuation tech concentration in the US. LONG UK Equities for diversification and value catch-up. The UK economy enters a deep recession rather than a soft landing; political instability returns.

Gold has been volatile (down $82 recently) but central bank buying remains a structural constant. Despite short-term fluctuations driven by rate cut repricing, the "debt monetization" and "central bank diversification" themes are unchanged. The dip is viewed as technical noise within a structural bull market targeting $5,000+. LONG Gold on dips. High real rates in the US persist longer than expected, increasing the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield assets.
